A 135/150 inch TV is impractical in all ways thinkable. Unless display technology improves to give us a 1-2 mm thick panel, it is not movable once setup. You can't take it outside on a fun day for that back yard party or make it the pillion rider on your motorcycle for that get together at your friend's place.
A 150 inch TV if setup on the wall, adds a lot of load on the wall studs/joists, and even more so when you have subwoofers shaking your room. Setting up such a huge TV properly, without structural damage in the long run can be expensive.
If the TV ever needs repair, you have to invite the technician into the comfort of your theater room, and 2 more people to take it off the wall When TV dies one day, you will have to pay to get it off your wall and out of your home.
A DLP projector from a reputed manufacturer almost always fails from a dying bulb, color wheel, a fan and or thermal sensor-all three can be easily replaced by an average DIYer. Been there, done that, so I know what I am talking about. Good luck troubleshooting your 150 inch TV, as the number of components are much more, movability and disassembly are much harder.
When I feel like going to the theater, I buy the 4K disc off of amazon for $20 (unlimited watch for the whole family), make our own pop corn and sink into our recliners. Think not missing theater visits, when you still have that 98 inch TV. In last 3 years, the only movie I watched at a theater is avatar, way of the water for the IMAX and bigger screen experience, thanks to my DIY home setup.
Andrew Robinson and many other A/V enthusiasts might think otherwise, but once you've used a projector it is only practical to assume that projectors are here to stay.
You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. This is known by everyone in the industry that this is the projector to beat under $5000
Multiple independent shoot outs, nearly every publication documents this.

You can try to get close to one or the other but it's costly.
Calibration often gets overlooked or downplayed, plays a role with all this also.
Every time we consider upgrading our display as we currently are, PJ's always comes up.
I just go view a friend's 5050 to remind us of the difference.
We definitely prefer quality over size!
We would have to go to native 4k to get close, size doesn't overcome quality for us.
I do agree this is probably the best non 4k native PJ to get.

To add to this....
A screen offers a very different viewing experience from a panel. There is no question that panels excel in many areas. The reality is that sometimes they excel too much! Lots of really good cinematography is shot with screens in mind (and obviously historically always has been).
I can watch Star Wars (I love the despecialized version as it's what I saw in the theater when it came out) on my OLED and it looks amazing.....but watching it on the big screen with the attributes that brings is definitely more cinematic, no contest. There are just some movies that need a screen, not just for the size but for the aesthetics. Godfather, Interstellar, Bladerunner, Barry Lyndon, etc.
I'd personally stick with the 5500 and save a grand, especially if you think you might like 3D. I was skeptical about how much I'd like active glasses 3D on this projector, and for most movies I'd probably choose 4K and height channels over 3D. But a handful are incredible.
I do/did take that into account with the key word being quality.
For me the association with big as quality regarding PQ always reminds me of the association of loud being quality regarding AQ.
Imo Oled + proper audio setup offers the best of both sides & better overall experience.

Actually ls12000 is the true successor with ultra black tech similar to 5050ub. Ls11000 native contrast level is lower than 5050ub. It is more of a successor to 4010 IMO.
Well that analogy is inaccurate, immersive and fidelity are not the same thing.
Not to mention neither is comparing a 5.2.2 vs 3.1.
As I pointed out the key word quality.
Even you clearly point to size being akin to "overall experience quality".
Immersive would be 5.2.2 enabled vs 5.2.4 overhead.
Fidelity would be the enabled uses entry level speakers, the overhead full range/reference speakers.
and the Sony is even more.
So no, not even close unless $2k+ is close to you.
The Sony XW500ES and JVC NP5 are both going for $4999
Are you just trolling?

Laser based pj's are like ev car's - when the hardware fails you just throw 'em away lol
